You work for a government environmental firm and are being given a specific budget amount to control invasive species. It is your task to use all of the invasive species report Wikipages to develop an action plan (to be written in complete sentences) that includes:
1. Prioritize the order of species to be acted upon and include an explanation of your order. Be sure to include at least one detail explaining the placement of each species. (5pts)
2. Further analyze the IPM pyramid of your top priority species and detail which method or methods you would use to control or remove the species if given a limited budget. Be sure to explain what percent of your total budget will be spent on each method from the IPM pyramid and justify each method’s allotment with at least one reason. (5 pts)
3. Further research the top priority specie’s natural history and develop a timeline for utilization of each chosen method to control the species. Keep in mind detail like breeding season, hibernation, and lifespan. Remembering that not all methods will be successful, be sure to explain the order of the methods and include all from previous budget. (10 pts)
4. Now that you have experience in constructing proposals, view another student’s finished proposal and write a decision as to whether you would award them the budget amount. Be sure to include with your decision, an explanation that includes a summary of three positive points and three negative points from within their proposal. (10pts)
